  1. I take it your not one of the 97% of customers who would recommend Arnold Clark or part of the 94% customer satisfaction. Makes you wonder how they arrive at these figures. Suspect your heading back to West End Garage?
  2. What I find difficult to understand is that apart from the bodywork the cars have nearly the same components so why the difference in reliability?
  3. That's a pity Ian given how much you liked your old Yeti.
  4. Having also swapped a Yeti for a Tiguan for the same reason........I prefer the Tiguan as I think it is more refined and better built. I also prefer the dash layout , but then we are all different.
  5. No sarcasm intended I assure you. The reason I changed from a Yeti to Tiguan was that I tow a caravan and if I wanted a bigger one I needed a car with a heavier kerb weight. Prior to the Yeti I had a Bora 130pd. Sold with 136k on the clock and had no problems. Before that a 110 Passat sold at 126k again no problems. In fact the only VW I had problems with was a 1973 1600TE fastback which I bought of Work colleague. Just about ruined me trying to fix it. Bob
  6. Personally I prefer the Tiguan, l like the larger boot also, I prefer the dash but again its a matter of taste. I like the fact the radio and controls are placed higher and easier to reach. I went from a 2wd 110bhp Yeti to a 140bhp 4motion, so not comparing like for like as far as performance goes. I do miss the great fuel consumption of the Yeti but knew fuel consumption would be less and can live with it. During the year I had the Yeti I could find no fault with it. Bob
  7. Having recently gone from a Yeti to a Tiguan I can say that it is far better built. Bob
  8. I had a 110 bhp diesel and my average mpg on the computer was 58. Towing a 1200kg caravan got about 30 mpg. Wouldn't liked to tow with a 1.6. Driven 210 miles in my 140 bhp Tiguan today and averaged 54 mpg for the jou A lot's to do with how you drive. Bob
  9. It also has a lot to do with how its loaded. Some all of the Coachman caravans are on the heavy side. Bob
  10. My 110 diesel towed a 1200kg caravan no problem. I only changed it because I need a heavier car. Bob
  11. How about a 110bhp diesel , you should have plenty of power and good fuel consumption. Bob
  12. I've got someone in the Highlands who wants them, just waiting tk finalise everything. Bob
  13. They do but the Tiguan came with all weather tyres.
